Published: July 2018

Introduction
This manual contains unloading, assembly, and predelivery information for the MacDon M1170 Windrower, which
when coupled with one of MacDon’s A40DX, R1 SP Series, D1X Series, or D1XL Series Headers provides a
package designed to cut and lay a variety of grain, hay, and specialty crops in windrows.
The M1170 Windrower is Dual Direction®, meaning that the windrower can be driven in the cab-forward or the
engine-forward mode. Right and left designations are determined by the operator’s position facing the direction of
travel. This manual uses the terms right cab-forward, left cab-forward, right engine-forward, and left engine-forward
when referencing specific locations on the machine.
The ignition keys were shipped with the shipping documents and are used to lock the cab doors and tool box
compartment.
NOTE:
